I graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2005 with a degree in Electrical Engineering.  I took up the NUS direct PhD programme and joined Marine Mammal Research Laboratory (MMRL), and later Arts and Creativity Laboratory, to conduct my research. Currently I am working under the supervision of Dr. Elizabeth Taylor, Associate Professor Ong Sim Heng and Associate Professor Lonce Wyse. My main area of study is the conversion of sound, especially music, into rich and novel visual displays in real-time such that these displays would enhance live musical performances. It is hoped that this work would be applicable to a wide range of musical activities, including learning to play new instruments, improving synchrony between several instruments, and most importantly to facilitate the enjoyment of hearing-impaired people attending live musical performances. This research is featured in the NUS research gallery.

Being a Sri Lankan, I am an avid tea-drinker and easily consumes 7-8 cups of tea a day. I enjoy watching cricket matches and love playing the sport even more.
